The Society of Saint Pius X has announced that new episcopal consecrations will take place on July 1, with the task entrusted to the bishops of the Fraternity, marking a significant moment for the traditionalist priestly society and its relations with Rome.
The decision was made public internally on February 2, the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, by Fr Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X, during a ceremony at the Saint-Curé-d’Ars International Seminary in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain. Speaking in the context of the investiture of the cassock, Fr Pagliarani confirmed that the Fraternity’s bishops would carry out the consecrations later this year.
